What Media player do I need?

Conanius · 17 Jun 2007 at 12:02

Requirements

- Must Play my Itunes music
- Must Play DVD's (if I have to rip them to DIVX/XVID fair enough)
- Decent screen quality
- Good battery life when doing video (3 hrs minimum really)
- Good Sound quality
- Not frighteningly expensive !

As above, what should I be going for? am I limited to just Ipods as I want to be able to use my itunes downloads?

if it is DRM'd iTunes music you are basically stuck with the iPod, unless you want to convert them by burning them to cd etc

I hear that the video capabilities of the Zune are pretty good

right, for the genius child, I want a portable one that I can take out with me for my commute to work, not a piece of a software on the pc

Only Media player I know that can play non drm aac is the Sony NW-A808.

On sound quality its top dogs

but Screen may be a bit small to watch full films.

A Zen Vision M is out because no suport for acc.

If you used to iTunes why not an ipod? sure it wont have sound quality of the sony but it will do what you want it too!
